@cindex Emacs 28, new features in
Emacs 28 has too many new features and changes to list all of them
here. We list below a small selection; consult the Emacs @file{NEWS}
file (@kbd{C-h n}) for the full list of changes in Emacs 28.
@itemize
@cindex native compilation of Lisp files
@item
Emacs now optionally supports native compilation of Lisp files. This
can improves performance significantly in some cases. To enable this,
configure Emacs with the '--with-native-compilation' option.
@item
The new NonGNU ELPA archive is enabled by default alongside GNU ELPA.
Thus, packages on NonGNU ELPA will appear by default in the list shown
by the @code{list-packages} command.
@item
The Cairo graphics library is now used by default if present.
@item
The new themes @samp{modus-vivendi} and @samp{modus-operandi} have
been added. They are designed to conform with the highest standard
for color-contrast accessibility (WCAG AAA).
@item
On capable systems, Emacs now correctly displays Emoji and Emoji
sequences by default, provided that a suitable font is available.
@item
New system for displaying documentation for groups of functions
(@kbd{M-x shortdoc-display-group RET}).
@item
Among the many internal changes in this release, we would like to
highlight that all files in the tree now use @code{lexical-binding}.
